Best Streets in London for the Fun & Wealthy Part 10 - Piccadilly Circus

Piccadilly Circus is possibly the best internationally known area in central London, and about as close as Londoners get to having a City Center not centrally located within the Metropolitan area, but nevertheless, a central London landmark.

Piccadilly Circus dates from 1819 and features the world known aluminum EROS statue in the centre. Known in tourist folklore as the God of Love because of the Cupid like bow and arrow part of the statue, EROS is sometimes refered to as the Angel of Christian Charity, erected in tribute to the Earl of Shaftesbury, a Bible carrying reformer best known for his objections to child labour.

Best Streets in London for the Fun & Wealthy Part 8 - Oxford Street

One of the better known streets in London, Oxford Street, is located in the city of Westminster and is one of the centerpoints of the "West End". The original street location dates back to the Roman times as do so many in the UK.

The current name of Oxford Street was adopted in the 18th century as The Duke of Oxford had purchased much of the surrounding land. On the present day Oxford Street you will find stores with famous household names such as Selfridges, John Lewis, Debenhams, HMV, Marks and Spencer, Disney Store, and many more.

Midway down Oxford Street, close to the intersection with Regent Street, are the more "trendy" stores favored by the young and wealthy, including H&M, United Colours of Benetton, and Niketown.
